It seems hedgehog is slightly different - but I don&#39;t think a layer of chocolate on top is ever unnecessary :-)Johanna GGGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-20038088317783548492013-02-14T08:06:07.063+11:002013-02-14T08:06:07.063+11:00My grandma used to make a very similar thing, but ...My grandma used to make a very similar thing, but she called it tiffin, we used digestive biscuits or hobnobs. She also use to put a layer of chocolate on top which was yes, probably totally unnecessary but very delicious.

A rich tea biscuit or marie biscuit is like a digestive but quite plain and buttery and crisp - but a little different to shortbread. You could use shortbread or other digestives and I think you could use graham crackers - I am yet to find out what is an exact substitute for a marie biscuit in North America - will keep lookingJohannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-90273853802926804312009-07-07T15:19:09.309+10:002009-07-07T15:19:09.309+10:00Looking through slides sounds like a wonderful fam...Looking through slides sounds like a wonderful family memory. =) I remember looking at slides a long time ago, I think in elementary school.
